Beemer bits...

Different fork tube sizes? Shirely not? Mine is a pre mono model.

Mine is signal yellow. At the moment.

Darsy's caferacer R65 was really tempting to go that route.
Just chased Hogs throwaway remark about Jota handlebars through
google, but it didn't come up with much (Raask, swedish manufacturer?).

It's up for changing over the next years, as I don't see me selling it,
and I can spend a bit here and there, still quids in from what a proper
bike would have cost.

Cheers,

 

They did an awful lot when they went mono. Bigger fork stanchion
diameter as well as bracing and larger diameter frame tubing.

Erm...nice?

I've got a rusty pair of those tucked away, I'm thinking of getting them
either re-chromed or bead blasted and powder-coated black.

Maybe Singapore got a rebadged US version.

Bear reckons that the R80RT pitches in a bit quicker if you do the
hanging off thang.

I think that translates to "it goes where you want it to if you sit up,
pay attention and ride it properly"

R65... from what I've heard, they're the sweetest handling of the
bunch... I'd be very interrested to have a go on that...

I'm only going on what I'm told.

Someone going to get me a look at one of these mythical braces in the
flesh then, so I can work out if it's do-able?

 

That's sort of what I said to him.

No.

 

Anodised blue to compliment the red fairing in a retro jazz funk fusion
explosion of complementary colours sort of way.

Better?

 

I'd better have a green one, then.

what /are/ these things you're talking about making *anyway*?

 

Upper triple clamps to replace the bendy bit of tin fitted as standard.

I've no idea really - it was that Eaton chap that claimed it had come
from Singapore.

 

oh, right. I thought it might be something interesting.
